2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · EY 222

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 October 2025 at 108,277 miles passed with zero defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting that the current owner proactively addresses minor mechanical issues before they result in a failure or long-term advisory. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 75,798 miles and October 2024 at 97,052 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The jump of 11,225 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests confirms this consistent annual driving habit, which is generally beneficial for engine components and seals compared to the degradation associated with long periods of standing. While the record shows a failure on 8 November 2023 at 87,381 miles, the immediate pass on the same day indicates the fault was minor and rectified quickly. Because there are no recurring advisories for corrosion, brake thinning, or suspension wear in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear items common to the 100,000-mile threshold. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs for any signs of accelerated fatigue that the MOT tester might not have flagged.
